    cable or hyd. clutch? what do you prefer?

    Maybe someone that has actually run into the problem can chime in here. I think the issue is one of two things. Either the header tubes are to close and the cable doesn't have enough room to go in between them or the headers are occuping the same space that the cable needs down by the...

    cable clutch conversion with these headers?

    I was reading in my summit catalog and it states that the patriot headers are for classic cars with modern suspension. Does that mean they wont clear the shock towers? If you installed them in a basicaly stock suspension car then I guess they fit. Could you check into that for me? I really need...

    Patriot Exhaust H8433-1 - Patriot Clippster Headers - summitracing.com These headers are mid length. I wonder if there would be an issue with the cable clutch? Anyone try these yet?

    cable clutch conversion with these headers?

    I think your looking at $550 for the uncoated FPT headers. That is the main reason I am looking at the hyd setup. I don't want to buy a $300+/- set of headers and find out it won't work with the cable clutch setup.

    cable or hyd. clutch? what do you prefer?

    Just like the title says. What type of clutch do you have and what do you like better? I am converting to a T5 and was looking at the options as far as the clutch goes. I have some skills and have no problem fabricating some stuff. I like the mustang steve setup for the cable. If you like...

    carb for a 408 stroker

    According to the thread, its a 408. I think a 750 would be a good carb for your combo. The 650 would be a bottle neck for sure. Depending on the purpose of the car an 850 might be a better choice.

    trouble finding wheels with 9" lincoln rear

    They are not the same. I used the same wheels from before the swap on the new 9" and now I get a little bit of rub on one side and the other side is very close to touching. I measured both axles and if memory serves me right the 9" was about 3/4" longer from wheel mount surface to wheel mount...

    trouble finding wheels with 9" lincoln rear

    I am having trouble finding wheels for my 66 coupe. It has the lincoln versillas(?) 9" rear with discs. I know this rear end is wider than the factory so I need wheels with more backspacing than the front. I was thinking 4.5" backspacing for the front and 5.5 for the back. On 17x7 front and 17x8...

    Odd Turn Signal Issue

    A lot of the brake/turn signal problems are in the turn signal switch behind the steering wheel. The contacts get old and worn out. I have been lucky and was able to clean mine to fix my brake/turn signal light. You might look into that. The steering wheel has to come off to get to it though.

    Pressure plate question.

    I was able to use a flywheel out of an '84 on my 1990 roller motor that was in my '66 coupe. I went this route because I was able to use my early clutch with the newer flywheel. The 84 flywheel has the old clutch bolt pattern and the newer 50oz counterweight. I can't tell you any other years...

    T5... now what shifter?

    Ok, I thought I would give this shifter handle a try. After all, I got it for $20! It should give me just enough pull back on my pro 5.0 shifter... time will tell. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110321036159&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&viewitem=

    T5... now what shifter?

    It seams to me that with that much pull-back on the shift handle you would be shifting mor up and down. Is this true? Would you feel comfortable drag racing with that stick?

    T5... now what shifter?

    I am laughing about your gas pedal. Thats because mine did the same thing three times! I welded it on everytime. The first two times I just tacked it. The last time I got it pretty hot and it has not come apart for several years now. It took a while for the rubber to settle back down after the...

    T5... now what shifter?

    What do you guys with a T5 do for a shifter? I am converting from a toploader and I didn't like the long throw of the competition plus shifter. I am told that a T5 is a long reach if the stock type shifter is used. Any suggestions?

    8" ford rear, far from indestructable.....

    I broke the bearing cap bolts off of the stock 8" in mine. It was on 17" street tires. I never had wheel hop untill I put the 17s on it. The very first time I side stepped the clutch with those wheels it hopped and snaped the rear end. I went to the 9" cause it has bigger bolts. here are some...

    Turn Signal Problem - WTF?!!

    Do the brake lights work? I have found many problems with the rear brake/turn lights in the turn signal switch. It is behind the steering wheel and the contacts wear out.
